The great importance of accurate systematics for biological control has been pointed out and discussed time and again by numerous authors (see Clausen, 1942; Sabrosky, 1955; Schlinger and Doutt, 1964; Compere, 1969; Rosen and DeBach, 1973; Debach, 1974; Delucchi, Rosen and Schlinger 1976; and others) and does not require any further elaboration here Suffice it to say that when natural enemies are being sought, or are transferred from one region to another in order to bring about biological control of an arthropod pest, correct identification of both the target pest and their natural enemies is an essential prerequisite for ultimate success.
